THE BIGGEST KITE.
What Some TerryvllIe Young Men Ar
Doing For Fun.

What Some TerrYvlIle Young Men Are
Doing For Fun.
There is much interest at the present time
in the amusement of kite flying, and the
large kite move in Terryville has aroused a
great interest For those who wish to know
mora of this kite the following account has
been obtained from the owners: About two
months ago, Leon T. Bunnell of Terryville,
young man of more than ordinary genius,
conceived the idea of constructing kite for
the purpose of taking lights up into the air.
Having made known his intentions to few
of his young friends, a company was at once
formed, the members of which are: Leon T.
Bunnell, Arthur Bunnell, John Dieter, Wal
lace Cook and Burton Andrus. Preparations
were at once begun for making this kite. L
consists of a stick sixteen feet in length and
a stick eleven feet in length for cross piece.
The cloth used for covering is cambria; this
is because it is more closely woven than
cotton cloth. The kite is strongly gagged
and is durably made. For the string
clothes line 1 200 feet in length is used. The
kite is the largest one ever made and is
very pretty sight when in the air. Not only
the kite itself attracts attention, but espe-
cially the lights attached to it, which are
seen in the air. These lights are common
lanterns with different colored tissue paper
wrapped tightly around the globe and when
In the air make very pretty sight. But
the owners were not quite satisfied with
these lights alone, so they invented revolving
light which will burn for three or four hours.
1t is SO made that it can be attached by a wine
about FIVE feet long to the large rope, close
enough to the kite to show the entire kite
and tail (the latter is eighty-two feet in
lengthy On the next night when the wind
is strong enough the owner intends to send
up about dozen lights. B. L. Andrus has
kite about ten feet in length, which will be
sent up first about fifteen hundred feet with
one light. Then it will be attached to the
big kite and both sent up. Anyone wishing
do SO by looking to the west of Terryville
center on any night when the wind will en-
able the company to fly their kite.-Hart-

The. Jury Says Thomas smith Met His
Death by Accident and That There
Was no Vfolence-Those Who Think
il Was a Mysterious Case of Murder.
DANBURY, Oct. 24.-The inquest into the
mysterious death of Thomas Smith of Tri-
angle street was begun here this morning.
It was on Tuesday morning last that Smith
was found lying in coal bin under Che New
York and New England railroad trestle near
Mallory's nat factory. His pockets were
empty sHe died Thursday morning, not ;hay-
ing regained consciousness from the time he
was found until death overlook him. 2oie o@
Just one wreck ago this evening Smith was
about ytthse Streets BE had considerable
money in his pockets, and he was not at all
10th to show, II. Eater on in the evening he
became somewhat intoxicated. About eleven
O'Clock he had oysters in a restaurant in COM
pany with young woman, and after leaving
the restaurant he accompanied her home. Be-
tween twelve and one O'Clock he stopped and
spoke to couple of policemen in front of
Fantori's jewelry store: After that he was
on River street The last seen of him that
night was when he left the River street
saloon in company with two men.
After Smith was found the next morning
Deputy Coroner Vile and the police went to
work to ferret out the case. All sorts of
stories were afoat. The coroner was of the
opinion that Smith was slugged and robbed
on River street and afterward placed in the
coal bin. DR.. Barnum thought that he was
struck with sand bag, robbed and then
thrown into the bin. Then Chief Crofut
said that he was probably on his way home,
going over the trestle work, and that he fell
into the bin. 1t is not known on what the
chief based his theory that man who lives
on Triangle street would cross the trestle.,
More, it is not known how the chief accounts
for his having no money in his pockets.
Coroner Holt also came up from Bridgeport
to look into the case, which became more and
more mysterious.
The jury at O'Clock this afternoon rem
dered q verdict of accidental death, and that
Smith did not meet his death by violence.
So it will never be really known whether or
not Smith was assaulted with robbery intent
and that murder was the result. Notwith-
standing the verdict of the jury there are a
great many skeptical ones who believe Smith
was assaulted for his money.

TO CHANGE QUARTERS.

The Adams Express Company to va
cate Their Present Rooms at the
Union Depot and to Move Into the
New Addition ON Sunday-The New
East End.
The Adams Express company is going to
move its Office from its present quarters in
the Union depot into the addition at the west
end, which has just been completed. They
will occupy the lower floor, while the treas
urer of the Consolidated road will have the
second floor. The company ahave"got to do
their moving on Sunday, as this is the only
tinetha they can change their quarters. It
is ths only time in the week that there isany
fstsup in the almost unceasing reund of work
which the employees have to keep up. Few
trains are running on this day and no ex-
press matter is carried. 81
The much talked of addition ito the east
end of the depot will be for the present only
one. story wooden shed.
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEW
DEPOT.
The new round-house of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad at Spring
is hoped that it can be used inside of six
weeks. The work of putting on the roof,
which is to be peaked, an idea of Vice Pres
ident Reeds, will begin to-day. The
steel turnable. which has been on
the ground for the last two
months, will be put in next week
The work has been done in the most thorough
manner; hundreds of piles were first driven,
and over these were laid more than 500 car
loads of granite, brought from the Leete's
Island quarry, which also furnishes the stone
for the Hartford depot. Some estimate of
the cost of laying this foundation may be
gathered from the fact that the cost of the
granite steps leading to small boiler pit in
the building was 5000. In this pit is the
boiler of the old locomotive Perseus, which
will be used for heating the building. The
company do their own piping and will use
800 feet of ~ inch lead pipe, $4,000 feet of
inch and 800 feet of inch pipe for heating
alone. A hydrant will be placed between
every other of the 16 pits, and instead of
wooden stringers for the rails, as is usual in
buildings Of the kind, iron will be used.
There will also be needed in the pits over
1900 stone bolts which are used instead OF
screws. An innovation will be running the
locomotive into their stalls head first, with
their tenders pointing to the turn-table and
so the smoke-stacks of the building will be
on the outside rim. The building is the
most solid IF the kind ever built hereabout,
and is estimated to cost over $780,

viewed yesterday:
sit is true that have told Mr.. Forde that
I would accept his resignation next Saturday
night. had several reasons for SO doing
then. For some time past Mr.. Forde has
been in charge of the Office and 1 have had
nothing to do with it. I paid the bills and
Mr.. Forde ran the Office. Now am going to
pay the bills and run the Office. may not
succeed in having my way in my Office, but I
am going to try to. The union notified us
some time ago that after November 1 nine
hours should constitute days work. 1 hear
now that the union men have since decided
not to enforce that order, but they have
never notified me that it was countermanded.
For all I know, they might insist on the re-
duction of the hours of labor still They
gave me no information that they had
changed their plans. On this understanding
made my arrangements and I cannot
change them now. I have not engaged Mr..
Ryder yet, although presume he will be the
next foreman"
There is no doubt that Mr.. Dorman can
easily get all the printers he may need He
pays good wages and his Office is a good one
to work in. He is heartily commended by
many for the stand he has taken.

LITTLE BREEZE
Among the Railroad Conductors.

Among the Railroad Conductors.
Conductor Gurdon S. Colt of the Housa-
tonic road, and for seventeen years clerk for
the New Haven Steamboat company, was
recently asked to join the New Haven divi
sion, No. POI, of the Order of Railroad Con-
ductors. At meeting of the division held
in this city last week his name was for some
reason rejected. Mr.. Colt thinks the reason
he was blackballed was on account of per-
sonal spite of some of the members of the
division, although he did not think he had
any enemies among his associates. Mr.. Colt
has written letter to the secretary of the
division, reviewing the matter and explain
ing his own position as'above and stating his
good will for the order despite his rejection.
He suggested the adoption of a rule forbid
ding members of the order from soliciting
others to join.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
A sensational article was published in the
Register of last evening referring to the re-
lection of Conductor G. S. Colt of the Hous-
atomic railroad, who had applied for admis-
sion to the Order of Railway Conductors.
This is made more interesting when it be-
comes known that the rejected applicant
furnished the information for the article.in
